Sandon: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
About our tile repair in Sandon
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Sandon
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sandon. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
